When Anne Stone left for Germany, she had no idea she'd get to see the Ice Man's tattoos.

Stone, a graduate student in anthropology at Penn State, is a fledgling expert in a fledgling discipline: the study of ancient DNA. At a meeting in Europe in 1991, she met some of the field's leaders, including biologist Svante Pääbo, professor at the Institute of Zoology at the University of Munich. The following year she received a Fulbright grant, and left for a year in Pääbo's lab.
